“The Power of I AM”
For the last 20 days, I have been going live on Instagram at 9pm EST doing “I AM” and Positive Affirmations with my followers to create an experience of connection in speaking life into our lives and over our situations. During this time, we have did affirmations for wealth and abundance, releasing fear and anxiety, peace of mind, success, positivity and relationships, business opportunities, job promotions, and more. This has been a wonderful experience for me and I have received texts, emails, and calls from others how these affirmations are activating and manifesting in their lives.
So, how does this work? Wikipedia says Affirmations in New Thought and New Age terminology refer primarily to the practice of positive thinking and self-empowerment—fostering a belief that "a positive mental attitude supported by affirmations will achieve success in anything."[1] More specifically, an affirmation is a carefully formatted statement that should be repeated to one's self and written down frequently. For affirmations to be effective, it is said that they need to be present tense, positive, personal and specific.
Maya Khamala, a freelance writer and editor of Goalcast, wrote in her article The Power of Positive Affirmations, positive affirmations are statements that are meant to be repeated over and over again until they stick. They’re phrased in the present tense and declare whatever it is you want to be true about yourself—as though it were already true.
Think of these positive daily affirmations as an intentional self-fulfilling prophecy—a method for encouraging positive changes by filling your mind with positive self-talk, banishing negative thinking and related negative feelings.
In my experience, I have learned that if you speak it, feel it, imagine it, believe it, you will manifest it. The affirmations that we have been speaking each night are happening in the present moment. I remember reading something when I was younger that said that the two words “I AM” are two of the most powerful words ever spoken. I AM can be followed by anything you want. I see “I AM” as a spiritual being dwelling inside of me and that I can be and have anything that I want. I can create what I want. I can do what I want. I can speak what it is I want out of life. I can speak healing and miracles. I can speak financial abundance and wealth. You have the same power to speak into your life! Try saying these affirmations over the next 11 days daily and watch what happens. Remember, they only activate when you speak them, feel them (visualize what it would feel and look like literally), and watch as they began to happen in your life.
